Giveaway/ Review: Catwalk,a Feline Odyessy by Kathie Freeman

** THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED ** 

 
Catwalk" is the story of grey tabby cat, who was picked out of a pet store by a nice young couple and named Tiger. The story is told from the cat's point of view and is very endearing and heartwarming, and quickly draws you in.

Anyone who has pets and then has children, will recognize the patterns that affect Tiger, after the nice couple has a baby. I am sure there are a lot of people in the same situation who choose a different path, but for the story, the baby's arrival soons leads to her being banished outside, and when she becomes pregnant, being banished to an industrial park.

Tiger is able to find shelter and caring people to help her with her kittens. Though she does get a new name, Tuffy, for her herculean efforts to keep them all together. But tragedy continues to strike around her, and she finds herself transported across country, landing in Cajun territory. She soon meets a game warden and his wife, some hobos, and finally a Mexican American family.

Throughout the story Tiger remains a survivor. She suffers abuse but carries on. In many ways the tale reminded me of my favorite childhood read, Black Beauty. Her spirit and hardiness keep her going as she struggles to cross back across the country to find her true place, with those that love her the most.

You'll need some tissue for this book, as scenes may remind you of your past animals/pets. But it would be a GREAT story to read to your children as a bedtime story. They'll root for Tiger/Tuffy and love the ending! This books would also make a GREAT Christmas present for any cat lover on your list!

And LUCKY you, Kathie Freeman has offered me another copy to giveaway!
